Unituhack is the first student & staff hackathon, bringing them together to form a team for one day to co-create technological innovations and solutions to specific challenges found in universities.
This is an opportunity for all types of university staff and students who may have an idea they would like to create and improve their own academic experience. Attendees do not need to come up with their own ideas, but can instead join a team once at the event.
Eligibility

Requirements
When you submit your project, make sure you submit a description of your project before the hacking time is finished.
